New to this...
Alrighty, I'm finally getting around to registering a domain name! Yeah, I know it's taken me forever - I just can't decide what I want (yeah, you'll say $70 USD is cheap but that's over $100 CDN for me!).
Anyway, how do I go about finding a good host? I don't need a lot of extras, and 25 megs of space will be lots. Good service and minimal downtime is a must though. I would like to use a Canadian service, but an inexpesive american one would do.
Also, where is the best place to register? I've heard about these places that say they do it for free - what's the catch?

www.webhosting.com is Canadian, based out of Toronto.

Free registrars? Do they exist? (I hope not. It'll make finding a good name a LOT harder.)
I've used Register.com, and they are excellent. If you are looking for an inexpensive solution, check out TotalNic.
DIS is excellent. Great services and support. (TWF is hosted by them.)
If you're looking for a Canadian solution, Reliant Web Hosting and Softcom are Canadian, although I can't vouch for their quality of service.
Good luck!

Actually, there is a free domain name registrar: namezero.com . The catch is that they control the domain name, and there is an ad window... I really like TotalNIC = fast, easy, cheap.
As for a canadian host, I don't know of any off hand.
